Leo Messi se va al Inter Miami
This announcement comes after months of speculation about where the 35-year-old World Cup winner would go after his exit from French club Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
Messi had previously received an offer from Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal, but he rejected it.
He was also in talks to return to his former club FC Barcelona. However, it fell through.
Left PSG after about two years
Messi left PSG at the end of the 2022/23 season.
He won the Ligue 1 with PSG in the two seasons he was with the club, scoring 32 goals in 75 games.
Messi first joined PSG in August 2021, after two decades with Spanish side Barcelona.
He had to leave Barcelona as the club was facing financial issues.
In 2022, Messi, who is a seven-time Ballon d'Or winner, lifted the World Cup trophy for Argentina.
